"Two weeks after their workplace was destroyed in a massive explosion and fire, the outpouring of support for the employees of a Kansas City restaurant continues.A benefit concert featuring 10 music acts helped raise money for the people who worked at J.J.'s restaurant on the Country Club Plaza. A natural gas explosion and fire ripped through the restaurant Feb. 19, killing one person and injuring others.Planners said they've spent the past two weeks trying to pull everything together for the concert and silent auction. About 50 Kansas City-area restaurants came together to serve food and drinks.Proceeds from the benefit will help employees deal with lost incomes and medical expenses. About 40 people who worked at the restaurant have been out of work since the fire.The money will also help establish a scholarship fund in the name of Megan Cramer, the server who was killed in the blast.\"The motivating factor has been solely fundraising for J.J.'s employees, specifically for Megan Cramer,\" said Joe Avelluto of J.J.'s Restaurant. \"That's our main focus.\"\"This is where everybody can love us and hug us and kiss us and cry.\u00A0 We're going to cry.\u00A0 We're going to laugh.\u00A0 But it's a good night.\u00A0 I have Megan's spirit.\u00A0 I've had it with me all day,\" said bartender Teri Lemos."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
